I am trying to create a function for a homework assignment which draws a jagged mountain curve using turtles and recursion. The function is called jaggedMountain(x,y,c,t) where x x,y are end coordinates, c is a complexity constant, and t is the turtle object. I am trying to create an image like this:
def jaggedCurve(x,y,c,t):
t.pendown()
x1 = t.xcor() + x / 2
y1 = t.ycor() + y / 2
y1 = y + (random.uniform(0,c)-0.5) * (t.xcor() - x)
if (x1,y1) == (x,y):
return None
else:
jaggedCurve(x1,y1,c,t)
This crashes quickly as the base case never executes, the function is called 993 times, and the recursion depth is exceeded. I have been scratching my head with this for quite some time, are there any suggestions?
Initially, I see two issues with your code. The first is:
if (x1,y1) == (x,y):
Turtles wander a floating point plane, the odds of these being exactly equal is small. You're likely better off doing something like:
def distance(x1, y1, x2, y2):
return ((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2) ** 0.5
...
if distance(x1, y1, x, y) < 1.0:
The second issue is that jaggedCurve() draws nothing nor returns anything that can be used for drawing. Somewhere you need to actually move the turtle to cause something to be drawn.
Finally, though it's hard to be certain without a value for c, my guess is even with the above changes you won't get you what you want. Good luck.
Very interesting problem!
My solution is to make a recursive function that draws a mountain curve given two end points. Randomly pick a x coordinate value that lies in between two end points and compute the range of possible y coordinate given the maximum possible slope and randomly pick a y value in between this range and do this recursively. When to end points are close enough, just draw the line between them. Here is the code:
MAX_SLOPE = 45
MIN_SLOPE = -45
MIN_HEIGHT = 0
def dist_squared(P1,P2):
return (P1[0]-P2[0])**2 + (P1[1]-P2[1])**2
def mountain(P1,P2):
if dist_squared(P1,P2) < 1:
turtle.goto(P2)
return
x1,y1 = P1
x2,y2 = P2
x3 = random.uniform(x1,x2)
y3_max = min((x3-x1)*math.tan(math.radians(MAX_SLOPE)) + y1, (x2-x3)*math.tan(-math.radians(MIN_SLOPE)) + y2)
y3_min = max((x3-x1)*math.tan(math.radians(MIN_SLOPE)) + y1, (x2-x3)*math.tan(-math.radians(MAX_SLOPE)) + y2)
y3_min = max(y3_min, MIN_HEIGHT)
y3 = random.uniform(y3_min,y3_max)
P3 = (x3, y3)
mountain(P1,P3)
mountain(P3,P2)
return
turtle.up()
turtle.goto(-400,0)
turtle.down()
mountain((-400,0),(400,0))
I know this was posted like 3 months ago, but hopefully this is helpful to someone that was also assigned this terrible problem 5 days before finals! Ha!
The struggle I had with this problem was not realizing that you only need to pass in one point. To get the point the turtle is starting at, you just use .xcor() and .ycor() that are included in the turtle library.
import turtle
import random
def mountain (x, y, complexity, turtleName):
if complexity == 0:
turtleName.setposition(x, y)
else:
x1 = (turtleName.xcor() + x)/2
y1 = (turtleName.ycor() + y)/2
y1 = y1 + (random.uniform(0, complexity) - 0.5) * (turtleName.xcor() - x)
complexity = complexity - 1
mountain(x1, y1, complexity, turtleName)
mountain(x, y, complexity, turtleName)
def main ():
#Gets input for first coordinate pair, splits, and assigns to variables
coordinate = str(input("Enter the coordinate pair, separated by a comma: "))
x, y = coordinate.split(',')
x = int(x)
y = int(y)
complexity = int(input("Enter the complexity: "))
while complexity < 0:
complexity = int(input("Input must be positive. Enter the complexity: "))
Bob = turtle.Turtle()
mountain(x, y, complexity, Bob)
main ()
I am a novice programmer who started python 4 months ago. For awhile now I've been trying to get my squares not to touch, however I'm not skillful enough to know how...anyone have any suggestions on going about this?
from tkinter import *
from random import *
root = Tk()
## Creates canvas that will be used to create squares
canvas = Canvas(root, width=3000, height=3000)
canvas.pack(fill=BOTH)
#will keep square at a max size of 30
squareSize = 30
squareMAX = 200
square = 0
square2 = 0
## when squares are created, this array will allow them to randomly choose a color
arrayColors =["blue","green","yellow","red","white","black","cyan","magenta","purple","orange"]
#Coordinate plane
# we need an atleast one array
array = [square]
while square < squareMAX:
## REPRESENTS THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE SQUARE
x = randrange(0, 1200)
y = randrange(0, 650)
i = array
abs(squareSize)
square = canvas.create_rectangle(x, y, x + squareSize, y + squareSize, fill=arrayColors[randrange(0, 8)])
square = square + 1
## I need to find a way to store squares that way the newly generated squares won't overlap, perhaps using array. Append
## to store the remove squares that way we can put them back on the grid without touching.
root.mainloop()
##abs is use to compare the distance between two squares
Result:
The Canvas widget has a find_overlapping(x1, y1, x2, y2) method that returns a tuple containing all items that overlap the rectangle (x1, y1, x2, y2). So each time you draw (x,y) coordinates, check whether the new square will overlap existing ones. If it is the case, just redraw (x,y) until there is no overlapping square.
Here the code corresponding to the creation of the squares:
square = 0
while square < squareMAX:
x = randrange(0, 1200)
y = randrange(0, 650)
while canvas.find_overlapping(x, y, x + squareSize, y + squareSize):
x = randrange(0, 1200)
y = randrange(0, 650)
square = canvas.create_rectangle(x, y, x + squareSize, y + squareSize, fill=choice(arrayColors))
square += 1
Remark: to randomly choose an item in a list, you can use the function choice from the module random. So choice(arrayColors) is equivalent to arrayColors[randrange(0, 8)].
I'm currently working on a pygame game and I need to place objects randomly on the screen, except they cannot be within a designated rectangle. Is there an easy way to do this rather than continuously generating a random pair of coordinates until it's outside of the rectangle?
Here's a rough example of what the screen and the rectangle look like.
______________
| __ |
| |__| |
| |
| |
|______________|
Where the screen size is 1000x800 and the rectangle is [x: 500, y: 250, width: 100, height: 75]
A more code oriented way of looking at it would be
x = random_int
0 <= x <= 1000
and
500 > x or 600 < x
y = random_int
0 <= y <= 800
and
250 > y or 325 < y
Partition the box into a set of sub-boxes.
Among the valid sub-boxes, choose which one to place your point in with probability proportional to their areas
Pick a random point uniformly at random from within the chosen sub-box.
This will generate samples from the uniform probability distribution on the valid region, based on the chain rule of conditional probability.
This offers an O(1) approach in terms of both time and memory.
Rationale
The accepted answer along with some other answers seem to hinge on the necessity to generate lists of all possible coordinates, or recalculate until there is an acceptable solution. Both approaches take more time and memory than necessary.
Note that depending on the requirements for uniformity of coordinate generation, there are different solutions as is shown below.
First attempt
My approach is to randomly choose only valid coordinates around the designated box (think left/right, top/bottom), then select at random which side to choose:
import random
# set bounding boxes
maxx=1000
maxy=800
blocked_box = [(500, 250), (100, 75)]
# generate left/right, top/bottom and choose as you like
def gen_rand_limit(p1, dim):
x1, y1 = p1
w, h = dim
x2, y2 = x1 + w, y1 + h
left = random.randrange(0, x1)
right = random.randrange(x2+1, maxx-1)
top = random.randrange(0, y1)
bottom = random.randrange(y2, maxy-1)
return random.choice([left, right]), random.choice([top, bottom])
# check boundary conditions are met
def check(x, y, p1, dim):
x1, y1 = p1
w, h = dim
x2, y2 = x1 + w, y1 + h
assert 0 <= x <= maxx, "0 <= x(%s) <= maxx(%s)" % (x, maxx)
assert x1 > x or x2 < x, "x1(%s) > x(%s) or x2(%s) < x(%s)" % (x1, x, x2, x)
assert 0 <= y <= maxy, "0 <= y(%s) <= maxy(%s)" %(y, maxy)
assert y1 > y or y2 < y, "y1(%s) > y(%s) or y2(%s) < y(%s)" % (y1, y, y2, y)
# sample
points = []
for i in xrange(1000):
x,y = gen_rand_limit(*blocked_box)
check(x, y, *blocked_box)
points.append((x,y))
Results
Given the constraints as outlined in the OP, this actually produces random coordinates (blue) around the designated rectangle (red) as desired, however leaves out any of the valid points that are outside the rectangle but fall within the respective x or y dimensions of the rectangle:
# visual proof via matplotlib
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.patches import Rectangle
X,Y = zip(*points)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = plt.scatter(X, Y)
p1 = blocked_box[0]
w,h = blocked_box[1]
rectangle = Rectangle(p1, w, h, fc='red', zorder=2)
ax = plt.gca()
plt.axis((0, maxx, 0, maxy))
ax.add_patch(rectangle)
Improved
This is easily fixed by limiting only either x or y coordinates (note that check is no longer valid, comment to run this part):
def gen_rand_limit(p1, dim):
x1, y1 = p1
w, h = dim
x2, y2 = x1 + w, y1 + h
# should we limit x or y?
limitx = random.choice([0,1])
limity = not limitx
# generate x, y O(1)
if limitx:
left = random.randrange(0, x1)
right = random.randrange(x2+1, maxx-1)
x = random.choice([left, right])
y = random.randrange(0, maxy)
else:
x = random.randrange(0, maxx)
top = random.randrange(0, y1)
bottom = random.randrange(y2, maxy-1)
y = random.choice([top, bottom])
return x, y
Adjusting the random bias
As pointed out in the comments this solution suffers from a bias given to points outside the rows/columns of the rectangle. The following fixes that in principle by giving each coordinate the same probability:
def gen_rand_limit(p1, dim):
x1, y1 = p1Final solution -
w, h = dim
x2, y2 = x1 + w, y1 + h
# generate x, y O(1)
# --x
left = random.randrange(0, x1)
right = random.randrange(x2+1, maxx)
withinx = random.randrange(x1, x2+1)
# adjust probability of a point outside the box columns
# a point outside has probability (1/(maxx-w)) v.s. a point inside has 1/w
# the same is true for rows. adjupx/y adjust for this probability
adjpx = ((maxx - w)/w/2)
x = random.choice([left, right] * adjpx + [withinx])
# --y
top = random.randrange(0, y1)
bottom = random.randrange(y2+1, maxy)
withiny = random.randrange(y1, y2+1)
if x == left or x == right:
adjpy = ((maxy- h)/h/2)
y = random.choice([top, bottom] * adjpy + [withiny])
else:
y = random.choice([top, bottom])
return x, y
The following plot has 10'000 points to illustrate the uniform placement of points (the points overlaying the box' border are due to point size).
Disclaimer: Note that this plot places the red box in the very middle such thattop/bottom, left/right have the same probability among each other. The adjustment thus is relative to the blocking box, but not for all areas of the graph. A final solution requires to adjust the probabilities for each of these separately.
Simpler solution, yet slightly modified problem
It turns out that adjusting the probabilities for different areas of the coordinate system is quite tricky. After some thinking I came up with a slightly modified approach:
Realizing that on any 2D coordinate system blocking out a rectangle divides the area into N sub-areas (N=8 in the case of the question) where a valid coordinate can be chosen. Looking at it this way, we can define the valid sub-areas as boxes of coordinates. Then we can choose a box at random and a coordinate at random from within that box:
def gen_rand_limit(p1, dim):
x1, y1 = p1
w, h = dim
x2, y2 = x1 + w, y1 + h
# generate x, y O(1)
boxes = (
((0,0),(x1,y1)), ((x1,0),(x2,y1)), ((x2,0),(maxx,y1)),
((0,y1),(x1,y2)), ((x2,y1),(maxx,y2)),
((0,y2),(x1,maxy)), ((x1,y2),(x2,maxy)), ((x2,y2),(maxx,maxy)),
)
box = boxes[random.randrange(len(boxes))]
x = random.randrange(box[0][0], box[1][0])
y = random.randrange(box[0][1], box[1][1])
return x, y
Note this is not generalized as the blocked box may not be in the middle hence boxes would look different. As this results in each box chosen with the same probability, we get the same number of points in each box. Obviously the densitiy is higher in smaller boxes:
If the requirement is to generate a uniform distribution among all possible coordinates, the solution is to calculate boxes such that each box is about the same size as the blocking box. YMMV
I've already posted a different answer that I still like, as it is simple and
clear, and not necessarily slow... at any rate it's not exactly what the OP asked for.
I thought about it and I devised an algorithm for solving the OP's problem within their constraints:
partition the screen in 9 rectangles around and comprising the "hole".
consider the 8 rectangles ("tiles") around the central hole"
for each tile, compute the origin (x, y), the height and the area in pixels
compute the cumulative sum of the areas of the tiles, as well as the total area of the tiles
for each extraction, choose a random number between 0 and the total area of the tiles (inclusive and exclusive)
using the cumulative sums determine in which tile the random pixel lies
using divmod determine the column and the row (dx, dy) in the tile
using the origins of the tile in the screen coordinates, compute the random pixel in screen coordinates.
To implement the ideas above, in which there is an initialization phase in which we compute static data and a phase in which we repeatedly use those data, the natural data structure is a class, and here it is my implementation
from random import randrange
class make_a_hole_in_the_screen():
def __init__(self, screen, hole_orig, hole_sizes):
xs, ys = screen
x, y = hole_orig
wx, wy = hole_sizes
tiles = [(_y,_x*_y) for _x in [x,wx,xs-x-wx] for _y in [y,wy,ys-y-wy]]
self.tiles = tiles[:4] + tiles[5:]
self.pixels = [tile[1] for tile in self.tiles]
self.total = sum(self.pixels)
self.boundaries = [sum(self.pixels[:i+1]) for i in range(8)]
self.x = [0, 0, 0,
x, x,
x+wx, x+wx, x+wx]
self.y = [0, y, y+wy,
0, y+wy,
0, y, y+wy]
def choose(self):
n = randrange(self.total)
for i, tile in enumerate(self.tiles):
if n < self.boundaries[i]: break
n1 = n - ([0]+self.boundaries)[i]
dx, dy = divmod(n1,self.tiles[i][0])
return self.x[i]+dx, self.y[i]+dy
To test the correctness of the implementation, here it is a rough check that I
run on python 2.7,
drilled_screen = make_a_hole_in_the_screen((200,100),(30,50),(20,30))
for i in range(1000000):
x, y = drilled_screen.choose()
if 30<=x<50 and 50<=y<80: print "***", x, y
if x<0 or x>=200 or y<0 or y>=100: print "+++", x, y
A possible optimization consists in using a bisection algorithm to find the relevant tile in place of the simpler linear search that I've implemented.
It requires a bit of thought to generate a uniformly random point with these constraints. The simplest brute force way I can think of is to generate a list of all valid points and use random.choice() to select from this list. This uses a few MB of memory for the list, but generating a point is very fast:
import random
screen_width = 1000
screen_height = 800
rect_x = 500
rect_y = 250
rect_width = 100
rect_height = 75
valid_points = []
for x in range(screen_width):
if rect_x <= x < (rect_x + rect_width):
for y in range(rect_y):
valid_points.append( (x, y) )
for y in range(rect_y + rect_height, screen_height):
valid_points.append( (x, y) )
else:
for y in range(screen_height):
valid_points.append( (x, y) )
for i in range(10):
rand_point = random.choice(valid_points)
print(rand_point)
It is possible to generate a random number and map it to a valid point on the screen, which uses less memory, but it is a bit messy and takes more time to generate the point. There might be a cleaner way to do this, but one approach using the same screen size variables as above is here:
rand_max = (screen_width * screen_height) - (rect_width * rect_height)
def rand_point():
rand_raw = random.randint(0, rand_max-1)
x = rand_raw % screen_width
y = rand_raw // screen_width
if rect_y <= y < rect_y+rect_height and rect_x <= x < rect_x+rect_width:
rand_raw = rand_max + (y-rect_y) * rect_width + (x-rect_x)
x = rand_raw % screen_width
y = rand_raw // screen_width
return (x, y)
The logic here is similar to the inverse of the way that screen addresses are calculated from x and y coordinates on old 8 and 16 bit microprocessors. The variable rand_max is equal to the number of valid screen coordinates. The x and y co-ordinates of the pixel are calculated, and if it is within the rectangle the pixel is pushed above rand_max, into the region that couldn't be generated with the first call.
If you don't care too much about the point being uniformly random, this solution is easy to implement and very quick. The x values are random, but the Y value is constrained if the chosen X is in the column with the rectangle, so the pixels above and below the rectangle will have a higher probability of being chosen than pizels to the left and right of the rectangle:
def pseudo_rand_point():
x = random.randint(0, screen_width-1)
if rect_x <= x < rect_x + rect_width:
y = random.randint(0, screen_height-rect_height-1)
if y >= rect_y:
y += rect_height
else:
y = random.randint(0, screen_height-1)
return (x, y)
Another answer was calculating the probability that the pixel is in certain regions of the screen, but their answer isn't quite correct yet. Here's a version using a similar idea, calculate the probability that the pixel is in a given region and then calculate where it is within that region:
valid_screen_pixels = screen_width*screen_height - rect_width * rect_height
prob_left = float(rect_x * screen_height) / valid_screen_pixels
prob_right = float((screen_width - rect_x - rect_width) * screen_height) / valid_screen_pixels
prob_above_rect = float(rect_y) / (screen_height-rect_height)
def generate_rand():
ymin, ymax = 0, screen_height-1
xrand = random.random()
if xrand < prob_left:
xmin, xmax = 0, rect_x-1
elif xrand > (1-prob_right):
xmin, xmax = rect_x+rect_width, screen_width-1
else:
xmin, xmax = rect_x, rect_x+rect_width-1
yrand = random.random()
if yrand < prob_above_rect:
ymax = rect_y-1
else:
ymin=rect_y+rect_height
x = random.randrange(xmin, xmax)
y = random.randrange(ymin, ymax)
return (x, y)
If it's the generation of random you want to avoid, rather than the loop, you can do the following:
Generate a pair of random floating point coordinates in [0,1]
Scale the coordinates to give a point in the outer rectangle.
If your point is outside the inner rectangle, return it
Rescale to map the inner rectangle to the outer rectangle
Goto step 3
This will work best if the inner rectangle is small as compared to the outer rectangle. And it should probably be limited to only going through the loop some maximum number of times before generating new random and trying again.
Hi im trying to draw diagonal lines across an image top right to bottom left here is my code so far.
width = getWidth(picture)
height = getHeight(picture)
for x in range(0, width):
for y in range(0, height):
pixel = getPixel(picture, x, y)
setColor(pixel, black)
Thanks
Most graphic libraries have some way to draw a line directly.
In JES there is the addLine function, so you could do
addLine(picture, 0, 0, width, height)
If you're stuck with setting single pixels, you should have a look at Bresenham Line Algorithm, which is one of the most efficient algorithms to draw lines.
A note to your code: What you're doing with two nested loops is the following
for each column in the picture
for each row in the current column
set the pixel in the current column and current row to black
so basically youre filling the entire image with black pixels.
EDIT
To draw multiple diagonal lines across the whole image (leaving a space between them), you could use the following loop
width = getWidth(picture)
height = getHeight(picture)
space = 10
for x in range(0, 2*width, space):
addLine(picture, x, 0, x-width, height)
This gives you an image like (the example is hand-drawn ...)
This makes use of the clipping functionality, most graphics libraries provide, i.e. parts of the line that are not within the image are simply ignored. Note that without 2*width (i.e. if x goes only up to with), only the upper left half of the lines would be drawn...
I would like to add some math considerations to the discussion...
(Just because it is sad that JES's addLine function draws black lines only and is quite limited...)
Note : The following code uses the Bresenham's Line Algorithm pointed out by MartinStettner (so thanks to him).
The Bresenham's line algorithm is an algorithm which determines which order to form a close approximation to a straight line between two given points. Since a pixel is an atomic entity, a line can only be drawn on a computer screen by using some kind of approximation.
Note : To understand the following code, you will need to remember a little bit of your basic school math courses (line equation & trigonometry).

Hope this gave some fun and ideas to JES students... And to others as well...
Where does your picture object comes from? What is it? What is not working so far? And what library for image access are you trying to use? (I mean, where do you get, or intend to get "getWidth, getHeight, getPixel, setColor) from?
I think no library that gives you a "pixel" as a whole object which can be used in a setColor call exists, and if it does, it would be the slowest thing in the World - maybe in the galaxy.
On the other hand, if these methods did exist and your Picture, the code above would cover all the image in black - you are getting all possible "y" values (from 0 to height) inside all possible x values (from 0 to width) of the image, and coloring each Black.
Drawing a line would require you to change x, and y at the same time, more like:
(using another "imaginary library", but one more plausible:
for x, y in zip(range(0, width), range(0, height)):
picture.setPixel((x,y), Black) )
This would sort of work, but the line would not be perfect unless the image was perfectly square - else it would skip pixels in the widest direction of the image. To solve that a more refined algorithm is needed - but that is second to you have a real way to access pixels on an image - like using Python's Imaging Library (PIL or Pillow), or pygame, or some other library.
My problem is the following:
I have two points in an image, I get the angle between these two points and rotate the image by this angle. I need to get the new position of this points in the image, but when I try to rotate those points using a rotation matrix with the same angle the points do not concur, what's wrong in the following code?
def rotMat(angle):
return asarray([[cos(angle), -sin(angle)],[sin(angle),cos(angle)]])
for i in batch2:
figure(1)
filename = "../imagens/" + i[-1]
outputFile = "./output/" + i[-1]
x1 = float(i[22]) # x coordinate of first point
y1 = float(i[23]) # y coordinate of first point
x2 = float(i[34]) # x coordinate of second point
y2 = float(i[35]) # y coordinate of second point
# angle of rotation
angle = arctan((y1-y2)/(x1-x2))
im = imread(filename)
im = ndimage.rotate(im, angle*180/pi, reshape=False)
imshow(im)
p1 = asarray([x1,y1])
p2 = asarray([x2,y2])
# Rotating the points
# [512,680] is the center of the image
p1n = (p1-[512,680]).dot(rotMat(angle)) + [512,680]
p2n = (p2-[512,680]).dot(rotMat(angle)) + [512,680]
print p1n, p2n
plot(p1n[0],p1n[1],'d')
plot(p2n[0],p2n[1],'d')
savefig(outputFile)
clf()
I don't understand 100 % what you are doing. But, did you consider that the y-axis in an image runs from 0 at the top to positive values for lower points. Therefore, the direction is opposite compared to the usual mathmetical definition. You defined rotMat in the usual way, but you have to adopt it to the changed y-axis in the image definition that runs in the oposite direction.
